Overview
Founded in the Lyran Commonwealth during the first Star League, Mountain Wolf BattleMechs was a key supplier of light BattleMechs. The Night Hawk proved so popular that the company opened a subsidiary factory in the Outworlds Alliance when the Alliance was a Star League Territory.[1] A Free Worlds League raid in 2945 destroyed the Vendrell plant,[2] and eventually the Succession Wars destroyed the Alpheratz facilities, and Mountain Wolf BattleMechs became a memory.
In the early 31st century, Brandon O'Leary spent much of his family's fortune to restore the Alpheratz facility. The production line there started producing the Merlin in 3010, and profits from their sale allowed O'Leary to restore the Vendrell plant which reopened in 3055.[2][1] The Night Hawk re-entered production that same year, and eight years later the Night Hawk started to come off the Alpheratz production lines as well.[1] Despite the brisk sales after the FedCom Civil War the company was still on shaky financial ground in 3067.[2]
During the Jihad the Vendrell facility wasn't damaged, but in 3079 various supplier difficulties reduced the factory's output to 85% of its maximum output.[3] The Alpheratz factory was operating at 80% capability at this time.[4]
Leadership
Brandon O'Leary was still the CEO of Mountain Wolf in 3067.[2][1]
